RECEPTACLE FOR LIQUID OR SEMILIQUID SUBSTANCES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,625, dated January 20, 1903.

Application filed June 9, 1902. Serial No. 110,881. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known thatI, JAcoB HINKEL, a subject of the German Emperor, residing and having v the upper orifice or neck of the bottle and tially consists, in the fact, that inside the bottle near the neck checks or plates are provided opposite each other and adapted to be pressed toward each other when the receptacle is in use by means of external pressbuttons, but normally held apart by springs. When gum is to be taken from the receptacle, the stick or brush, with gum thereon, is placed between the said cheeks and the latter are pushed toward each other, so that the superfluous gum on the stick or brush is caused to flow back into the receptacle.

A suitable form of construction, given as an example, is represented by the annexed drawing in elevation, partly in section.

At the neck of the otherwise ordinary bottle a and inside the latter two cheeks or plates b are arranged opposite each other and provided with rods 0, terminating in buttons or knobs, said rods extending to outside the bottle. The cheeks are held apart by springs d. When the buttons or knobs on the rods 0 are pushed, the checks 6 are moved toward each other, and When the stick or brush is then drawn between them they wipe it. The checks 1) are so formed that the gum left on them can easily flow off. When not in use, they lie tightly against the interior sides of the bottle, so that should the latter pull over little or no gum can flow into the space between them and the mouth of the bottle. The rods are preferably screwed into the cheeks and can be easily unscrewed for the purpose of removing and cleaning said cheeks.

It is obvious that various modifications can be made in this form of the device. For instance, one cheek only may be movable and the other fixed. What is essential is the presence of two resilient and parallelly-guided cheeks moving in the interior of the receptacle and adapted to easily wipe gum downward. The device can of course also be used for other receptacles in which brushes are used.

I clain1- A receptacle of the character described provided with two cheeks adapted to move in the interior of the receptacle, springs for holding the cheeks separated, and means extending through the receptacle to move the cheeks toward each other, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

J AOOB HINKEL.
